03 August 2025 Hey! Here’s a clear answer on TDS for shifting heavy material or machinery:

Is TDS applicable on shifting heavy material or machinery?
Yes, if the payment made for shifting services qualifies as payment to a contractor or service provider, TDS is applicable under the Income Tax Act.

Shifting or transportation of heavy machinery usually falls under contractual services.

Relevant Section & Rate:
Section 194C of the Income Tax Act deals with TDS on payments to contractors and sub-contractors.

If you pay a contractor for shifting/transport services, you need to deduct TDS.

TDS Rate: Generally, 1% if the payment is to an individual or HUF contractor.

2% if the payment is to other entities (companies, firms).

Conditions for TDS Deduction:
TDS is to be deducted if the payment or aggregate payments in a financial year exceed Rs. 30,000 for a single contract or Rs. 1,00,000 cumulatively.

You must deduct TDS at the time of payment or credit, whichever is earlier.

Summary:
Service TDS Applicable? Section TDS Rate
Shifting heavy material/machinery Yes 194C 1% (individual/HUF), 2% (others)

Important:
Ensure you get the contractor’s PAN to deduct TDS correctly.

File the TDS return and provide the contractor with a TDS certificate (Form 16A).
